JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2009
A peek into the future -
This is what is happening at the monthly board meetings of our chapter. Anyone who is interested in attending a board meeting is invited to attend at any time.
Our next big event is the two day event, “Londa’s special sweatshirt jacket creation”, which will be held on January 23 & 24 at the Waldemere Avenue Fire Station (upstairs). This is a large room and we hope that everyone will attend, at least for the Friday session. Tickets are available now from Marie Gartley, 941-756-5387, and Evelyn LeVasseur, 941-624-6237.
In March, we will have our annual bus trip to Expo, which is always a great time for all who attend. I wouldn’t miss it. Tickets for that are also available from Marie. See COMING EVENTS.
On April 4, we’ll be having our “Spring Fling”, which is going to include lots of fun things. You won’t want to miss that.
Don’t forget our “Sewing Retreat” from April 29 to May 3, 2009 at the Kennilworth Lodge in Seabring, FL. That will be great fun with lots of sewing, hand needlework, some craft mini-classes, and more sewing! (Look for more information on page 11 of this newsletter.) Deposit is due on Feb. 1, 2009! Also, this year we will be having a bazaar. This will be held in November as part of Pinecraft Days on Bahia Vista Street. This is going to be our biggest fund raiser for the year and it’s very important that we all involve ourselves. We have spent a considerable amount from our treasury to bring all of you some great events and speakers. Now, it is time to return some of that money to the treasury. If all of you would contribute at least one handmade item, and hopefully more, to be sold at the bazaar, that will make this endeavor a success. We’ve done it before and we know that we can do it again. It takes some volunteer effort and time, but it is important to the chapter. Please keep it in mind.
That’s it for this time. We’ll see you in the new year. …
